Thank you Dear Aroor-ji for the pic…
It is a wonderful sight indeed! Hope ADA, HAL and all those dedicated people involved will put in extra effort to make the LCA a potent fighter feared by India’s enemies.

Great picture work……. they are flying too close to ground……. I’m waiting to see the LCA fly past in Aero India’09.. I also expect some Maneuvers from LCA………
I been waiting for this sight all these years. Thx Man.
Tejaswy you are wrong there . they are PV-1/2/3 and LSP-1/2
@ Tejasway: There are 7 prototypes(TD-1,TD-2, PV-1,PV-2,PV-3, LSP-1, LSP-2) of Tejas in flyable condition.
So two are missing the show. The photo shooter could also be a LCA if PV-5 is flying.
Thanks Shiv for this pictures.
^^
Is that Rahul Singh from DNA?
I can id out the a/c as : TD1,TD2,LSP-1 and PV-2 ….the identity of the fifth one is pretty confusing.
Lovely
